Chapter 367 - 367: A Bag of Invitation Cards

The gift box was small and light.

“Can I open it?”

Lin Shanchu asked Ming Yao, but her hands were already moving. Then, she opened the gift box with a light pull with her fingers.

It was a designer brooch.

Lin Shanchu could not tell its brand and material, but she could only see that the brooch was beautiful and she liked it very much.

Ming Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Shanchu picking up the brooch and gesturing it on her clothes, looking like she was fond of it.

Then, Ming Yao frowned slightly. Why would she be nervous that Lin Shanchu might not like the brooch she gave her?

She had already given Lin Shanchu face by preparing a thank-you gift for her, yet she was still nervous?

What kind of monster was Lin Shanchu?

Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Ming Yao looking at her strangely.

She couldn’t be thinking of going back on her word, could she?

Lin Shanchu placed the brooch into her bag in front of Ming Yao and said, “I like it very much. Remember to call me if you have something good like this next time.”

It was the thank-you gift she deserved. Ming Yao could forget about taking it back!

Ming Yao was speechless. It was just a brooch, but was there a need to do that?

Seeing that Lin Shanchu was about to leave, Ming Yao couldn’t help but ask her, “Isn’t Huo Xunzhou going to give you jewelry?”

“Nope.” Lin Shanchu shook her head.

Huo Xunzhou would only dissipate his fortune to acquire shares and give them to her.

“He…” Ming Yao asked tactfully, “Is he… having financial distress?”

She did not know much about Huo Xunzhou, but after interacting with him, she did not think he was a stingy man.

If Huo Xunzhou was really a stingy man, Lin Shanchu would not have taken a fancy to him.

“Yeah!” Lin Shanchu nodded.

Huo Xunzhou had spent all of his money on acquiring shares. He was very poor now.

Ming Yao was speechless.

Huo Xunzhou was famous before he retired from the entertainment industry. He had also invested in private and later started a company. The company’s profits were not bad either. Logically speaking, Huo Xunzhou should not be short of money unless he squandered all the money he earned. Lin Shanchu noticed that Ming Yao was looking at her with pity.

Did Ming Yao misunderstand something?

Lin Shanchu tried to explain, “Huo Xunzhou treats me very well.”

Huo Xunzhou had acquired Lu Corporation’s shares in private, so she could not tell anyone about it.

“Love is nothing without materialism,” Ming Yao said with an unfathomable expression.

“I have money.” Lin Shanchu said, forgetting to save Huo Xunzhou’s dignity.

“Besides, he just doesn’t have money for the time being.”

Ming Yao said, “There are many men.”

Lin Shanchu was confused.

Ming Yao continued, “Especially in Capital City.”

Lin Shanchu asked, “What are you trying to say?”

Ming Yao replied, “If you don’t like Huo Xunzhou anymore and want to dump him, I can introduce you to a boyfriend.”

Lin Shanchu was stunned. “I’m not thinking of dumping him. Our relationship is very stable.”

Ming Yao said, “Yes.”

She did not seem to believe Lin Shanchu’s words.

“Shanshan.”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded. Lin Shanchu looked over and saw Huo Xunzhou behind Ming Yao.

She did not know when he arrived and how much of her conversation with Ming Yao he had heard.

Lin Shanchu tilted her head and walked past Ming Yao, looking at him with a smile. “You are here.”

Huo Xunzhou also smiled at Lin Shanchu.

However, when he looked at Ming Yao, the smile on his face disappeared completely and his expression turned cold.

“Miss Ming.”

Even his tone was cold.

Lin Shanchu was certain that Huo Xunzhou had heard her entire conversation with Ming Yao.

“Mr. Huo.” Ming Yao greeted calmly Huo Xunzhou, revealing a professional smile.

Huo Xunzhou looked at Ming Yao deeply and reached out to Lin Shanchu.

“Shanshan, come here. Let’s go home.”

When Lin Shanchu passed by Ming Yao, she reminded her in a low voice. “You’re in trouble. My Brother Xunzhou is really vengeful.”

Ming Yao was speechless.

She was kind enough to look out for Lin Shanchu, but what was with Lin Shanchu’s gloating tone?

Did Lin Shanchu have no conscience?

Ming Yao stood still and watched Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu leave.

Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou to the parking lot. As they chatted, Huo Xunzhou turned his head to look at Lin Shanchu’s face from time to time.

The scene was harmonious. There was no physical contact, but the atmosphere was intimate.

Ming Yao vaguely felt that she was being a little nosy.

As she turned to leave, she thought of what Lin Shanchu had said before she left.

Huo Xunzhou was polite to her every time he met her, but Yun Yi was the the main reason behind his courtesy.

Huo Xunzhou did not look like a good-tempered person.

Lin Shanchu said that he was very vengeful..

Ming Yao felt a chill run down her spine.

What happened at the socialite dinner spread throughout the circle the next day.

Ming Yao was still the smooth operator. Cheng Fanjing deliberately showed up last, whereas Lin Shanchu did not give face to anyone at the dinner party except Ming Yao.

In fact, most of the people in the circle were curious about Lin Shanchu.

However, everyone stood on Cheng Fanjing’s side and selectively ignored Lin Shanchu because Cheng Fanjing did not get along with her. They did not even send Lin Shanchu an invitation to any party.

However, Ming Yao’s attitude towards Lin Shanchu caused a subtle change in everyone’s mentality. They began to tentatively send Lin Shanchu anonymous party invitations.

When Lin Shanchu finished filming, she saw Qi Cheng standing at the side with a bulging bag waiting for her.

“What is it?” She asked as she pointed at the black bag in Qi Cheng’s hand.

Qi Cheng unzipped the bag and opened it for her to take a look.

Lin Shanchu lowered her head to take a look. Then, she reached out and rummaged through the bag, only to find that it was filled with invitation cards.

“Why did you prepare so many invitation cards?

Qi Cheng was silent for a moment before he replied, “Someone else sent all of these to you.”

“Huh?” Lin Shanchu was surprised.

“Musical concert?” she asked as she opened an invitation card.

It was something she could not appreciate.

Lin Shanchu threw it back into the bag without hesitation and opened another invitation card.

“Birthday banquet? I’m sure I’ll have to give a gift if I attend the birthday banquet. I don’t want to spend money on someone I don’t know.”

“Red wine tasting?” Lin Shanchu’s eyes lit up.

Qi Cheng silently took the invitation card from her hand and said, “You’ll be entering the film set tomorrow night. You have to maintain your condition. It’s best if you don’t drink for the next two days.”

Lin Shanchu reluctantly took out another invitation card.

The content of this invitation card was ridiculously simple.

There was only simple sentence: [Go for a spin and have a meal.]

The signature was also simple: [your friend].

Lin Shanchu smiled and showed the invitation card to Qi Cheng. “Can I attend this one?”

“Who wrote this?” Qi Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a long time, confirming that he had never seen this handwriting before..
